When he opened the latest exhibition at the Museum and Art Gallery, Colour Country: Art from Roper River, the Administrator, His Honour Tom Pauling, described it as a rare gem. This significant Indigenous show comprises spectacular, large-scale works by major artists such as Ginger Riley Munduwalawala, Djambu Barra Barra, Gertie Huddlestone, and Amy Jirwulurr Johnson. Many of the paintings have been lent by private collectors and so it is unlikely that they will ever be seen again together. The exhibition runs until 11 July.

We are also unlikely to see again in Darwin the exhibition of all nine Victoria Crosses won by Australians in the Gallipoli campaign of 1915. These medals are touring the country while their permanent home in the Australian War Memorial is being refurbished, and are on display at the MAGNT until 20 June.
